There’s a lot to think about when you’re on the road to build your own successful ecommerce business. It’s fast becoming one of the most popular routes for start-ups to take, so I’ve come up with a rough guide for new founders, featuring five key areas to focus on.

Your Product

First things first, you need to pick your product carefully. Many independent online retailers start off as Amazon sellers (or similar). If this is the route you’re taking, you need to ensure you find a manufacturer that’s a good match for your identity, your price point and your customers. Order a small amount to test quality and reliability before committing to larger orders or outsourcing to a third party warehouse.

Let’s face it- you all want to be your own boss. I mean, we all want to invest our time and energies working towards ‘our’ ideal dreams of making a gazillion dollars, living the high life and not having to report to work on time, or salivate like Pavlov’s dogs at the mere mention of the month end salary.

Good, but how? Owning a business seems like the ideal thing to do- but, it’s not for everybody. If you ain’t as disciplined as a trapist monk, as frugal as your grandma, as calculative as a calculator, innovative as a Leonardo Da Vinci clone, or are still fixated on the ‘not having to report to work on time’ comment from before, stick to your day job.
